Find the slope and the y-intercept of the equation 2x − 3y = 6.




slope = 2/3 and y-intercept = −2




slope = −2/3 and y-intercept = −2




slope = 2/3 and y-intercept = 2




slope = −2/3 and y-intercept = 2

Answer 1

Move the 2x to other side by subtracting -2x from both sides.
-3y = -2x + 6
Divide through by -3
y = (2/3)x - 2

m = slope = 2/3
b = y intercept = -2, or the point (0, -2)

Answer 2

2x + 3y = 1,470
3y = -2x + 1470
y = (-2x + 1470 ) / 3
y = -2/3 * x + 1470/3
y = -2/3 * x + 490
slope is -2/3
y intercept is 490


TRY USING THIS METHOD JUST NOT THE SAME NUMBER OBVIOUSLY

Answer 3

guys remember not to give direct answers @LavinaKalra and @Young_gliss

Answer 4

re-arrange the terms to change it to a form like
y = mx +c where m is slope and c is y intercept
this is done as:
2x-3y =6
so, just rearranging the equation a bit
=> -3y = 6-2x or 3y = 2x-6
divide by 3
so this equation will turn into
=> y = (2/3)x -2

so clearly slope is 2/3 and intercept is -2
